NEW EVERY MORNING.

Every day is fresh beginning,
Every morn is a world made new:
You who are weary of sorrow and SHINING
Here is beautiful hope for yon
A hope for me and hope for YOU.
All past things are past and over
The tasks are done and the tears are she'd;
Yesterdays errors lei yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds which smartcd ana
hlcd,
Are healed with the healing which night has
she'd
Yesterday now is II part OF forever
Bound np in a sheaf that God holds tgh',
win clad DAYS and sad days and bad days
which never
shall visit us more with their bloom "nd
their blight.
Their fullness of sunshine or >"rrowini
night,
Let them go since we cannot relieve them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy receive, forgive them
only the new days are our own:
To-day is ours and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all Furnished brightly
Here is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly
To face the sun and to share with the morn
In the chrism ot dew and the cool of the
dawn.
Every day is II fresh beginning;
Listen, my SOUL TO the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow and older SHINING.
And puZZles forcasted and possible pain,
Take heart with the day. and begin again

LITERARY NOTES.

Harper's Magazine for February is
peculiarly strcng Number, being
freighted with three serial stories, any
one CT which would be an extaordi-
nary feast, four richly illustrated de
scriptive articles, short story by
Grant Allen, and an attractive variety
of short poems, one of them from
Cowley's "The Mistress" being char
mingly illustrated by Abbey and Par
sons. The striking frontispiece
"Moose Hunting by Jacklight," is
one of Mr.. Frosts brilliant illustrations
to the paper on "Moose Hunting"
by Henry P. Wells. Charles Dudley
Warner describes the Bayou Teche
Country ofSouthern Louisiana, known
as "The Acadian Land" very enter>
tainingly, and his fellow-traveler,
artist W. Il. Gibson, beautifully il.
Illustrates his text. Mr.. Howell's new
novel, "April Hopes" begins with
every assurance of excelling even his
high standard, taking Boston life of
to-day for his theme. George Will
lain Curtis, in the Editors Easy
Chair, talks with his general raciness
of the American Opera, the limits of
newspaper proprieties, the value of
censure, domestic service as an en-
ployment for American women, and
Joe Jefferson. w. D. HOwells, in
the. Editors Study, makes a most
careful and delightful estimate of
short stories as a peculiar phase of
modern literature, and enumerates the
most successful writers of them.
The second (February) number of
Scribner's Magazine opens with an
Article of general and scholarly inter.
est, entitled, "The Likenesses of JUL.
us Cesar" by Mr.. John G. Ropes,
the well-known writer of military his
tory, which is superbly illustrated
with eighteen portraits, reproductions
of photographs from statues. These
photographs are from the absolutely
unique and complete collection of the
likenesses of Cesar, owned by Mr..
Ropes, and the completion of which
he has made his especial study for
many years. One of these portraits,
engraved by w. b. Closson, forms a
striking frontispiece for the number.
-. S. of Dale" begins a highly orig,
inal novelette,, called "The Residuary
Legatee,' the first chapters of which
are sufficient to arouse great interest.
"Half Curse" is a short story by
Octave IhaDet, the scene of which ]:
laid in 81. Augustine during the war
aud is marked by all this authors
power of description and character.
ization. The second instalment ofex
Minister Washburne's "Remihiscence;
of the Siege and Commune of Paris,
is even more interesting than was the
FIRST, dealing as it does with the mos
exciting incidents Of the seige The
illustrations to the article are album
dant, spirited, and of high artistic
value. One of the artists, Mr.. Thul'
strup, was in Paris during the seige
and his drawings are from sketche,
and studies made at the time.

lature, in place of Connette, who was

Gov. Taylor has appointed Prof
Frank NJ. Smith, of jackson, super.
inteudent Of public instruction, subj
ject to ratification Ivy the senate.
Prof. Smith is nav superintendent Of
the Jackson city schools and is an old
and experienced educator, though not
an old man. lie is native of East
tennessee, taught several years III
Knoxville, and was superintendent Of
the city schools there fr time. He
has been leading worker in teachers
institutes, has fine ideas about the
management of schools, and is active
and progressive. Those VIII" know
him say that he is one of the best
men that could have been found in the
state for the position. While Gibson
county is disappointed that her talen'
ted teacher, Prof. KilIough, did moi
receive the appointment, yet we fee
that the Governor has done the best
for the state, and are not disposed t.
criticise him. We believe that the
senate will promptly ratify the Gov
errors action when it reassemblet
next week. as it certainly ought to do.

The Milan Building and Loan AS
sociatiOn promises to be successful
enterprise. A number of gentlemen
met in Primary Hall last Thursday
night, when the matter was fully ex-
planned and discussed, and quite a
number of shares spoken for. On
next Monday night another meeting
will be held there, when steps will he
taken to secure the necessary stock
books and stationery for the success
ful working of the association. We
learn that more than one hundred
shares have already been subscribed,
and no active canvass has yet been
made. Only one thousand of the
FIRST series will be issued, and it be.
hooveS all to speak In time if they
want the stock. 1t is believed that
it will pay from twenty to thirty per
cent. profit, besides helping to build
mSuy new houses In our town. These
associations have aided very much i'll
building up several large cities, and
the stock has generally paid big prof
its. Every business man especially
should own a few shares, and all
men, women and children, white and
olack-ought to take one share apiece
at least. Let US all join together and
build up the town, and all will profit
by the transaction.
